similarly to the first book, we're given the deep thoughts of the author. i was really glad theyre getting better and less dependant on their parents opinion/expectations. it gives me hope for an unsure future, knowing life isnt doomed is always reassuring.

i actually liked this :) i havent read manga in a while so this was good. i really loved the way the author described her own experiences, thoughts and the silliness of the drawings.

its wonderful how one book with such a simple theme, a common mans life, ends up immersing the reader in the complicated days of a university professor.
ive read this both in my mother tongue and in english and i just cant get tired of it. the emotion always seems to lock me in.

i was hoping coley and sonya's relationship would be more stable and overall communicative. it wasnt really my thing that they only started to solve things up on the last few chapters. i actually liked them in the beginning and i wish there were more happy moments between the main couple.

after years of watching girls like girls on youtube, ive finally found this book and i was radiant. as i read it, it disappointed me: the whole miscommunication trope was bad, the characters couldve had more development and the ending was rushed.
started as a book i thought i would keep with me forever, similar to the music video, but it really fell short.

this book means the world to me. leslie feinberg writes in a way that makes you feel the emotions the characters are going through, from pure happiness to grief. a book that had and still has a huge impact on the queer community and our movement. a book that shaped the way i see my own identity. a book that makes us hope and fight for a future we know it's not granted.
truly a book like no other and i recommend it to anyone who's interested in queer (mostly sapphic and lesbian) history.
